Iron deficiency
(I'm PV. Diagnosed 14+ years) Finally this week my consultant agrees to give me a course of iron. Does the following dose sound right/enough? 300mg ferrous gluconate once a day for a month. I'm on day 4 and don't feel any better at all. (Blood test 4 days ago: ferritin 6, Iron 3.8) Im considering

Being asked to track my working hours after OH referral..
Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone can advise. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency a few years ago and have been getting injections every 8 weeks since then. I moved house a few months ago and due to changing GPs, I let the injections slide and didn't get one for over 3 months. This, coupled with low

Low iron???
My wife's Hgb is often low, though can pickup a little after a ferinject IV. Her hematologist would prescribe ferinject when her ferritin was lower than 15, so she is always on the low side of normal. A recent trip to Christie's and blood tests gave this result above. We understand the ferritin numbers

High MCV & MCH update
Good morning all I just wanted to update you on my previous post. All blood tests came back normal apart from very high B12 and Folate and a note under differential white blood count saying "RBC show mildly macrocytic picture" MCV & MCH were still abnormal but lower than a couple of weeks previously

Guidance re: unusual iron/ferritin results, please
Hello All! I've been keeping abreast of information on the forum, although I haven't posted in a while (not felt that I've had much to offer in the way of answers :) ). However, I was hoping I might get some more guidance from the wise folks on here. I've updated my bio. with the latest chapters related

Folic acid dose at night?
Does anyone take their folic acid at night, then do the B12 injection the next morning. Just wondered if that would work so the folate is ready in the body to help the B12 absorption?

Generic for Buprenorphine?
so tomorrow I see my gp. At first I was considering gabapentin but I see alot of you have good results with Buprenorphine, since it has a long life and I could just go off my hydrocodone which has absolutely stopped working after 14 years. I've been having to take more than one 10/325mg and I'm just

Positive Update
I previously asked on this forum for advice for my husband in relation to a rls specialist in Ireland. This led to loads of great advice and knowledge in relation to the management of his severe rls as per Mayo Clinic Algorithm. He started taking magnesium glycinate 400 mg, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3

Update on appointment at Vanderbilt QCC
I have secured an appointment for a 2nd opinion with Dr Arthur Walters who is the Director of Vanderbilt's RLS QCC. This will be a telemedicine visit so I do not need to travel 2 hours to be seen again. I was initially seen by Dr Kishan Tarpara at Vanderbilt but was very disappointed that he would not
